VNC over VPN?
Yes. Do it all the time. There should not be anything special about
it. I run VNC over a network built with vtund (lightweight linux-based
vpn). I have also run VNC over pptp from a win 9x client to a
linux-based pptp server.
No problem either way. I have, however, run into a similar problem
trying to run various connections through a winNT based firewall. I
suspect some sort of stateful packet inspection, but since the attempts
were unauthorized, I can't provide any additional data.
Can you get firewall/access logs from the NT server?
